As the Arabs line up behind Israel, the Obama administration is operating under the delusion that the Iranians will be convinced to give up their nuclear program if Israel destroys its communities in Judea and Samaria.

According to reports published last week in Yediot Aharonot and Haaretz, President Barack Obama's in-house post-Zionist, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel, told an American Jewish leader that for Israel to receive the administration's support for preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, it must not only say that it supports establishing a Palestinian state in Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem and Gaza, it must begin expelling its citizens from their homes and communities in Judea and Samaria to prove its good faith.

With just months separating Iran from either joining the nuclear club or from being barred entry to the clubhouse, the Obama administration's apparent obsession with Judea and Samaria tells us that unlike Israel and the Arab world, its Middle East policies are based on a willful denial of reality.

Oy, oy and more oy.

Sounds like blackmail to me. Hardly diplomacy. What do the palestinians have to do to show their "good faith". Oh, that's right. NOTHING!

Yes, it sounds like backroom Chicago politics. This is about making Obama look good and not Israel's best interests.

it must begin expelling its citizens from their homes and communities in Judea and Samaria to prove its good faith.

Its about time the terrorist settlers got their collective comeuppance. They are an embarrassment with their divine right to the land nonsense. Expelling them from The West Bank and Gaza is long overdue. Kudos to Rahm Emmanuel for telling it like it is.

    "As the Arabs line up behind Israel, the Obama administration is operating under the delusion that the Iranians will be convinced to give up their nuclear program"

    The Obama administration has shown no symptoms of delusion that Iranians are Arabs. Nor that Israel has to comply with US foreign policy. Both countries may make policy statements and act in their own national interests. Push comes to shove America will be there for Israel, and Israel will support the United States however it is allowed.

    Let's stop banging the fear drum with regard to President Obama. We have more reason to trust him than we ever did his predecessor. He is responsible, intelligent, and along with the distinguished American presidents of the history, President Obama takes his place as one who gives 110%

      Great Article. When push comes to shove it seems that Jordan & Egypt feel safer with Israel than a Nuclear Iran....What does that tell everybody?
